Chapter 986 Xanadu
The next moment, the eyes suddenly opened up!
Below is a huge valley, the land is flat and fertile, and some crops and fruit trees are planted in the field, and a clear stream flows slowly. ◇↓◇↓,
In the middle of the valley, there is a small village with only dozens of households. There are some adobe brick and thatched houses, which are old and simple.
At this time, some villagers were walking slowly in the countryside, enjoying themselves. Several children were chasing and playing, with crisp laughter. Chickens and dogs smell each other, quiet and peaceful.
This scene is in stark contrast to the villages and towns outside that were destroyed by the demons!
Seeing such a place, even Huang Yi inexplicably wanted to let go of the mundane world, escape the war-torn world outside, live in seclusion here, and live a life of peace from the world.
"[System Prompt]: You have discovered the Peach Blossom Spring, experience value +300000."
Peach Blossom Spring!
No name could be more fitting than this one!
This paradise is isolated from the world, surrounded by huge peaks in all directions, hidden among the mountains of the Kyoho Mountains, even if you want to find it, you can't find it.
At this time, the outside world is being ravaged by the demons, but this place has not been affected at all, maintaining its original tranquility and peace!
Until today, Huang Yi, the first strange intruder, ushered in!
The cave where Huang Yi is located is in the middle of a cliff, and the position is neither above nor below. He didn't want to disturb the tranquility here, so he didn't use his wings to fly down, but put away his weapon, grabbed a hanging vine with both hands, climbed into the valley below the cliff, and walked towards the small village.
Here is a pink peach grove, like spring all the year round, peach blossoms are blooming all the time, and the flowers are fragrant. There are even some transparent and crystal-clear peaches growing on some peach trees. It looks juicy.
A stream runs through the peach forest, and groups of small fish swim to and fro, coming out of the water from time to time to eat the peach blossoms falling from the trees.
The fragrant grass on the bank is delicious, and the fallen petals are colorful. The dewdrops on the tip of the grass are shining, and occasionally the crisp chirping of insects and birds can be heard.
Such a peaceful and elegant view. Huang Yi unconsciously relaxed his mind, and even his pace became brisk, and he arrived at the entrance of the village not long after.
There is a huge banyan tree at the entrance of the village.
It is as thick as a dozen people hugging each other, with luxuriant branches and leaves. The air roots hang down on the ground, entangled with each other, knotted and winding, full of ancient flavor.
There is a huge stone under the tree, and it seems that people sit on it to enjoy the shade all the year round. Polished to a bright finish. At this time, several children were sitting there playing, and the bright sunlight shone through the dense branches and leaves, scattered on their faces, making their smiles even brighter.
When they saw Huang Yi coming, they all opened their eyes wide with surprise.
"Who are you? How did you come here?" A fifteen or sixteen-year-old child immediately stood up from the stone. Looking at Huang Yi asked. His tone of voice was different from the outside world, but he was still understandable.
The rest of the children also stood up. They all looked at Huang Yi curiously, their eyes were clean and clear, spotless, full of innocence, like a clear spring in a mountain stream.
"I came here by accident." Huang Yi said calmly, trying to show that he was not malicious. "Can you take me to meet the adults in your village?"
"Okay!" The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy nodded, climbed down from the big rock with the group of children, and began to lead Huang Yi into the village.
As they walked, they turned their heads frequently and kept looking at Huang Yi, an outsider. From time to time, they whispered a few whispers, and then laughed innocently.
Huang Yi suddenly discovered that these children were slightly different from ordinary people outside. The positions of their shoulder blades were all slightly raised, and even supported their clothes.
This scene made him immediately think of wings!
If a race in human form grows wings, it will protrude from the position of the shoulder blade. But judging from the bulge of the shoulder blades of these children, it seems that it is not enough to grow a pair of complete wings. I don't know what's going on.
With deep curiosity, Huang Yi followed these children into the village.
The village became more lively, with three or two chickens and ducks walking in the countryside and pecking at food. Several dogs saw these children, rushed over wagging their tails, and put their front paws on them to play. But after seeing Huang Yi, an outsider, he hesitated.
Soon, the adults in the village also found Huang Yi, and they were shocked!
Everyone stopped what they were doing, walked out of their respective rooms, and surrounded Huang Yi, an outsider, with curiosity in their eyes.
They seem to have been isolated from the outside world for too long, so that everyone's expression is very innocent. Even the old man did not have the feeling of going through the vicissitudes of the world in his eyes, as innocent as a child.
They wore very primitive coarse linen clothes, and the positions of the shoulder blades were all slightly raised to support the clothes.
"Are you from outside?" At this moment, the oldest white-bearded old man in the crowd stepped forward and asked Huang Yi, looking at him. He was full of energy, and he did not have the feeling of old age that old people should have.
"Yes! I found a cave by accident. After climbing in, I came here..." Huang Yi briefly explained the process of discovering this place, and then asked his own doubts: "Why do you live here? ?”
The old man stroked his long white beard, looked around Huang Yi, and said slowly: "Our ancestors lived in seclusion in this place in order to avoid the war in the Oskan Empire, and the descendants have never gone out since then. After that, I wonder if there is still a war outside?"
"Oscan Empire?!" Huang Yi was shocked when he heard the name!
This is the greatest empire in ancient times! It is also known as the last large empire in the history of the Second World, with an extremely vast territory and relics all over the continents of the Second World today.
But this empire eventually perished and disappeared into the vast river of history. Only its directly subordinate Royal Academy was passed down and gradually became the core force of the second world, that is, the Royal Academy of Oskan.
The ancestors of these people actually came here to live in seclusion in ancient times, and they have passed through several epochs safely, and I don't know how many catastrophes they have escaped.
"The Oskan Empire has already perished, and even the Eastern and Western Continents have collapsed into hundreds of pieces..." Huang Yi briefly explained the situation outside.
"It's changed so much!"
"The continent actually shattered!"
"I don't know if the Yuchao Mountain in the legend of the ancestors is still there."
The crowd immediately looked at each other and began to discuss in whispers. This is the first time in countless years that news from the outside world has come in here.
"Young man, you must be very hungry to come here after traveling through mountains and rivers! Why don't you come to my house as a guest and have a meal and rest for a while." At this time, the white-bearded old man invited Huang Yi.
"Okay! Thank you!" Huang Yi nodded, he was indeed a little tired.
The white-bearded old man smiled kindly, and while stroking his beard, he turned his head to the surrounding villagers and children and said, "Zongzi, Huahua, you two, go to Taohuaxi to catch some grass carp, and bring back a basket of spiritual peaches by the way; Dongyang, Shoushou, you go kill two chickens and get a few goose eggs; Little Gray Rabbit, you and Dad bring two jars of aged peach blossom wine, and then go dig some sweet potatoes and lettuce in the vegetable garden; Yuyu, Jing Feng, you two climb up Ningcui Cliff, pick some swan mushrooms, and take two pine bird's nests; my wife, go and light the fire yourself..."
Soon, the villagers were eager to prepare this sumptuous lunch.
Huang Yi followed the white-bearded grandfather to his house.
The house is just beside the bridge of a small stream. It is a few old thatched houses. All the utensils are made of wood and stone. They are clean, tidy, simple and simple, comfortable and comfortable.
In front of the house stood a tall fig tree, whose broad leaves shaded the noonday sun and cast a green shade. There are two rattan chairs under the tree, which are very smooth. It seems that people have been sitting here all year round, looking at the mountains in the distance, watching the sun rise and set.
Huang Yi went directly to the tree, sat on a chair, leaned on the slanted back of the chair, and looked at the green cliff in the distance comfortably.
Several pines protruded from the cliff, covered with exotic flowers and plants, and a small waterfall fell from the middle, like a poetic landscape painting.
"This is a fairyland!" Huang Yi sighed from the bottom of his heart, his whole soul seemed to have been sublimated, and all the previous killings and blood were gone.
"That's why our ancestors lived in seclusion here, and never got involved in the hustle and bustle outside!" the white-bearded grandfather said, and sat down on another chair. The two raised shoulder blades were brought together in the middle, like a pillow, leaning against the back of the chair, and the back of the head rested comfortably on it.
Huang Yi looked at the protruding shoulder blades, and his curiosity rose again, and he couldn't help asking: "What is growing on your back?"
The old man pursed his lips, turned his head to look at Huang Yi, hesitated for a while, and said, "Those are degenerated wings."
"Degenerate?" Huang Yi was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but feel even more curious, "Why do the wings degenerate, which are so good?"
The old man looked at the mountain peaks in the distance, and said quietly: "Because...we are descendants of the feathered people."
"Feathered people?!" Huang Yi was surprised immediately, and almost stood up from his chair, "Could it be the feathered people of Johns the God Conferred?"
"Exactly!" The old man nodded and stroked his white beard, "Johns! That is the greatest member of our Feather-human race in history, who once led us to the most prosperous period. But it is precisely because He was the one who led to the downfall of our feathered race."

When the last chapter was just published, I saw that some readers had already guessed that it was Peach Blossom Spring. "Peach Blossom Spring" is my favorite text when I was a student. When I was depressed last year, I especially yearned to go to such a place to escape from the world and live in seclusion, but there is no such place in reality, so I can only make it up in the book. Addiction. The names of the people involved in the above are basically all the names of the readers who signed up. (to be continued.) u
